Phil Mickelson Has A Competitor For The Lead.

He was over at Spyglass Hill, putting together another solid round in the sunshine, rain, cold and wind.

Casey had a 5-under 67 and quietly built a three-shot lead over Phil Mickelson going into the final round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Mickelson delivered plenty of golf entertainment at Pebble Beach, particularly a wedge into 3 feet on the 13th for birdie and a 4-iron he crushed with the wind at his back to 4 feet for an eagle that turned his fortunes, led to a 2-under 70 and put him in good shape for a shot to match Mark OMearas record of five titles at the AT&T Pebble Beach.

Casey, who was at 15-under 200, has never won in his three previous times with a 54-hole lead on the PGA Tour.

Those all occurred in the last three years, and while he was beaten by great closing rounds of great players, Casey shot 2-over par or worse.

He made his PGA Tour debut 18 years ago at Pebble Beach, missing the cut with Seth Waugh, now the chief executive of the PGA of America.
